Understanding Mach Speed

The Mach concept is fundamental to aeronautics, and plays an essential role in measuring aircraft speed. It quantifies the relative speed of an aircraft in relation to the speed of sound in the medium through which it travels. Knowledge of Mach speed is crucial to aircraft design, performance and safety. Aircraft speed […]
